IC63

IC63 is illuminated very strongly by the very bright star Gamm Cass (the middle star in the W shape). The effect of the illumination can be seen in the glowing Ha region in the image below. Gamma Cass is just off the image towards the top. The LRGB image, with an Ha blend into the L and Red channels, was taken with my Esprit 150 and represents about 14.5 hours integration time.

Lovely detail and beautiful colours, in both nebula and the stars. 

Thanks for the comment - I not sure if I like the nebula or the stars more in this image :happy11:
